Artist's Comments

i have kind of stepped away for the last couple months from doing meaningful photography. I didn't mean to, but my focus shifted from expressing myself to trying to one up other people. I realized this and decided to sort of start over.

This is my first try back at expressing myself. I recently cut all the dyed color from my hair and took out my favorite peircing. I almost never wear glasses. One morning this week, I woke up, put on my glasses, looked in the mirror, and the face in the reflection was not how I identified myself.

It occured to me that I had been lying to myself.

Devin-- I've been enjoying your photography experiments a lot.

Speaking from experience, when I changed from college Meranie to real-world (corporate) Meranie, I felt like I was lying to the world and especially myself. This piece really speaks a lot for such a simple picture and it's very strong.

You may never identify with the self you see in the mirror anymore.
